Hello and happy February!! I can't believe its the second month of 2015 already.. It feels like Christmas was only yesterday!
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I've recently had a bit of a hair-overhaul.. I went for a short pixie cut a couple of Thursdays ago and I am SO pleased with the result!!
I'd been thinking about chopping all my hair off since before the wedding, but was too scared to do it. One day I thought "enough is enough!" and called up Wildilocks to book an appointment for that week.
My hairdresser was super excited that I was going for such a dramatic change, which definitely helped quell my nerves a little! I've never had my hair this short, but I've seen pictures of my Mum when she was younger with a pixie so I figured it couldn't look too bad.
In fact, this might be one of my favourite hairstyles yet! It's SO easy to do in the mornings, I just wet it in the shower, comb into place and it dries in about 10 minutes and looks perfect.. and to think of all the time I used to spend day and night slaving over my hair!
It's also meant I've been busting out the big earrings a lot more lately, which is awesome because I have a fair collection but always felt they were kind of wasted with longer hair. Bright lipstick and cat-eyes are also daily requirements now to give more of a feminine look - I'm excited to play with different coloured lipsticks, maybe even some coloured eyeshadow (craaaazy!)
I haven't done much in the way of styling it so far, just left it as-is, but I will definitely be experimenting with more styles very soon.
Has anyone else taken the plunge and chopped off all their hair? What were/are your favourite styles/things to do with it while it was short? Any tips or recommendations are very welcome!
love it you are beautiful !!
ReplyDeleteYou can do both androgynous looks and feminine with your earring I found that new style totally awesome!

Thanks Lorna! I definitely like a bit of an androgynous look so I'm excited to play with that a little more :)
DeleteHow fun! I got a pixie last summer and loved it! You'll have so much fun with it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephanie! I actually looked up a few of your youtube tutorials for ideas on how to style it and such, although might have to wait until it's a little longer to do much at all with it. Yours looked gorgeous!
Deletethe pixie looks so great you! good choice!
ReplyDeleteThank you! x
Deleteyou look soooo cute! i can imagine how easy it must be to take care of and all, just adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks Abigail ^_^ It really is very easy, I literally wet it in the shower, comb into place and voila! Very good for someone as lazy as I am haha
DeleteYou look fantastic! There is something really amazing about a freshly chopped pixie - it definitely puts a swing in your step. I'm currently growing out my own crop, but sometimes I see pictures like your's and think about cutting it off again.

Thank you Jessica, It really does! I feel very confident without all that hair to worry about! Haha, I can definitely understand that :)
DeleteThank you so much :)
ReplyDeleteI think the pixie looks super cute on you! I would definitely not be game enough to try one for me; the closest I've come to "cutting it all off" would be a Middy Cut. 4" is short enough for me ~ particularly with curly hair! :D ❤

Thanks Bonita! I've seen a few curly pixies and I think they look adorable, I definitely don't think this style is only for straight haired ladies!
DeleteA pixie suits you so well! You look fantastic!
ReplyDelete(Also, I really love those earrings. So awesome!)
Cheers,
